Hi there, welcome back to another episode of Fame Under Fire with me, Amber Hark.
I am covering the show while Anushka and Sean take a very well-earned holiday break.
Quick introduction to me, I am a documentary maker, I'm a podcaster.
I've actually presented a few crime series here on BBC Sounds that you might have heard of.
Bad People, I presented Gangster Presents, Sex, Drugs and Cell Block Parties.
I also recently travelled to Los Angeles to report on how the Friends actor Matthew Perry died.
That documentary is up on BBC iPlayer now.
It's called Matthew Perry and the Ketamine Queen, if you want to check it out.
So you could say that I am very used to digging deeper into some of those grey areas, really, where celebrity meets controversy.
and the stories here on Fame Under Fire aren't always criminal, but they are almost always complicated.
Today's story is about reputation.
What happens when a beloved movie star with a world-famous slogan aligns even indirectly with a highly controversial view or ideology?
We are talking about an actor who
most famous line is basically a threat memo that I'm going to put money on that you have either used or heard at least once over the years.
You know the one.
I will find you and I will kill you.
Have a little listen to this.
That, of course, was the voice of Liam Neeson, the Irish actor supposedly worth $120 million.
You'll know him from colossal movies like The Taken franchise.
